foxgrrlSo, I'm doing some CSS tweeking on my LJ, and I'm wondering how to make it look best for everyone — or at least for most people viewing it. I'm not going to assume everyone uses the standard VESA modes — I certainly never do, because I'm a VESA Rebel! — But I also didn't want to put this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_display_standard in the poll.
Edit: Ok, yeah when I created this poll I was thinking of 4:3 aspect ratios, even though I never even run in any of those myself (I'm at 1280x800 at this moment). The only thing that I really need to know is how wide your screen is, so that I know how many columns of pictures, at what size, will fit comfortably across your screen. I don't know if everyone is seeing 1, 2, 3, or even 4 columns of 264px wide images. (I write the html layout so that it'll automagicaly work everywhere, but when I'm trying to group things together, I don't know if I'm going to leave a single photo floating by itself.) Up until now I've been trying to keep things in groups that are even multiples of twelve, but that's a lot of work.
Also,
[Poll #878475]
Also, can everyone tell me if they can see the difference between X, Y, and Z on this grayscale chart, shamelessly stolen from http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/common/grayscale.gif
I'm posting all of my photos on the assumption that everyone can see the difference. Also, at my current gamma setting, the O box matches the gray [#777777] of the border. (And I can see the difference between A, B, and C too.)
In other news, I've been reading up on one of my favorite drugs, and supposedly it damages the judgment center(s) of the brain, turning the user into an inhuman monster, with no sense of morals or ethics. (And in general, a bad decision maker. Like, say, shamelessly linking to someone else's grayscale chart.) For those of you who know me in person, would you say that I'm an inhuman monster?

Date: 2006-11-30 05:17 am (UTC)On my elderly G4 powerbook, A and B are pretty much the same - there's a bit of an interference line at the intersection, but it's tiny. On the other hand, X, Y, and Z are easily distinguishable as different.
